Understanding and re-engineering nucleoprotein machines to cure human disease.

Nanomedicine (London, England) - 1 Feb 2008

Dynan William, Takeda Yoshihiko, Roth David, Bao Gang

Abstract excerpt

The mammalian nucleus is filled with self-organizing, nanometer-scale nucleoprotein machines that carry out DNA replication, RNA biogenesis and DNA repair. We discuss, as a model, the nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) machine, which repairs DNA double-strand breaks. The NHEJ machine consists of six core polypeptides and 10-20 ancillary polypeptides. A full understanding of its design principles will require...
